Over the years I have visited Amazon to try to figure out how to become an associate and link items on my websites. I can't figure it out, so I give up.

I have a Wizzley associate ID there, and would like to know how to add other sites. I've searched through their info, but can't find the answers. I see how to add an ID but I don't want it to be under Wizzley, obviously.

Will I need to list each site I want to use, and does Amazon have to approve them? I'd like to see how some of you are using Amazon on your blogs / sites.

It's been over 10 years since I became an Amazon associate, so I don't remember the details. To get a separate tracking ID for wizzley, I just looked to the left margin. It said Tracking ID and then manage. Then I go to choose a new one. I don't think you need a separate account, just tracking IDs.

You wouldn't want separate accounts, so you can get higher in the tier structure. I don't know if it matters if you got your account through Wizzley or not. Perhaps NightOwl or chefkeem can help with that.

You can create as many tracking IDs as you like. You don't really have to link it up with either website or Wizzley. You might want to track sales and that's why you perhaps want to use a different tracking ID.

So when I am at the line to "add a tracking ID", what do I put in there? And then, can I use that on any site I want?

You can all the tracking id anything that hasn't been taken by anyone else. Then when you make a link for a new site, just make sure that the right tracking id is showing at the top of the left column. The link that Amazon generates for you will have that ID. Then you put that HTML on your site.
